Perhaps the club can put something together to celebrate his time here? The minutes silence was perfect in my opinion and perfectly observed. I really don’t like the “minutes applause” idea that sprang up a while back. It’s a somber occasion and needs to be treated as such showing respect. The celebration can come later and I’d love to see the club put together something to do that.southportcdm wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:00 pm I agree with the previous comments about the minutes silence but, as I stood there head bowed with a tear in my eye, I would have really loved to be able to applaud, cheer and shout the name of such a great player and wonderful person. We all loved and respected Inga but we should have been celebrating his contribution to the club in a way that he'd have enjoyed. RIP big man.
RIP Inga!

Re: RIP Inga!
I don’t like the minutes applause either & I actually think it’s disrespectful! I never do it preferring to do the minutes silence, even if I may be on my ownDaveO wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 11:42 pmPerhaps the club can put something together to celebrate his time here?

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Was an icon both on, and perhaps more importantly, off the field with his inspiration and gentle manner, that gave Jason Robinson a new and better direction in life.
Like others have mentioned, I hope the club can put something in place to celebrate his time with us.

My dad had Tuigamala 2 on his shirt… as it were, I had Robinson 2 on my shirt as a kid… I remember my parents arguing because dad was like “he was number two the other day”

Like all the greats, I feel fortunate to have have seen him playing live, if only a few times,

Re: RIP Inga!
I concur with all the sentiments addressed to the passing of a wonderful rugby player and family man. A minute silence showing our respect and I would equally have shown my respect by applause cheer and the a vocal acclaim of the players name following the silence all appropriate ways manifesting appreciation and respectful response to his contribution to Wigan Warriors. In particular and World sport generally.
